data center ENERGY Solutions
Data centers has become one of the major consumers of the electricity consumption with an even increasing share. To meet this demand and reduce corresponsing environmental impact, innovative energy efficiency solutions become a major factor. Accordingly, we help data center designers and operators not only meet the highest standards of energy efficiency but also supports them for long-term environmental and economic objectives.
Two key solutions we have focused on are waste heat recovery and combined heat and power generation (co-generation and tri-generation). Prior category aims to utilize heat emissions of the computing equipments for the secondary services such as heating nearby facilities, preheating water or heating sidewalks in cold climates. The latter focused on coupling electricity and cooling requirements of the data centers with the industrial thermal processess for mutual energy efficiency of the facilities. We provide energy modeling, monitoring and management solutions for these efficient yet complex energy systems.
DATA CENTER HVAC control
Vast majority of the data centers utilize conditioned air for cooling computing systems that makes HVAC control a major technology for energy management. To keep data centers efficient, reliable, and sustainablee, we approach this challange with three interdependent solutions: modeling for efficienct thermal zoning, energy-aware digital twin and the advance HVAC control.
Thermal zoning within data center is crucial to physically minimize the overcooling or undercooling for the flexible demand of computing systems in real-time. Near-real-time digital-twin technology enables monitoring of heat exchange among chips and conditioned air with sensor fusion, seamless data-flow and visualization. Coupling this data stream with grey-box energy models, advance HVAC control enables efficient and predictive management of the energy. Based on the high-quality data gathered from the facility, we help data center operators for demand management, predictive maintenance and risk management as well.
